Posted: 6/20/05 at 11:59pmI've heard that drinking more water helps you lose weight, is this true?

Posted: 6/21/05 at 12:03amIt might not necessarily help you lose weight, but like Ebonic said, it doesn't hurt to drink that daily requirement. I, however, am like a fish and drink gallons a day.

I'm on an all water diet and it's just delicious.
I have a Smart Water with Electrolytes by Glaceau for breakfast.
For lunch I have a fantastic bottle of Voss which the water sommalier at the Ritz Carlton first turned me onto. It's TOTALLY worth the extra $$.
For dinner, I have a sensible bottle of Panna, or, if I can't find that, I'll settle for Evian.
It's the best diet I have ever been on. I don't even miss solids! The palpations, though disconcerting to some, really help me stay alert.
I recommend the water diet. Incidentally, a doctor friend of mine told me that sparkling water is as bad as candy.

no one saw the Oprah poop episode? Drinking the prescribed amount of water also helps you have healthy poops.

Posted: 6/21/05 at 12:49amI've been drinking over 100 ounces a day for the past two weeks. It really improves your overall health.
#9re: Water Diet?
Posted: 6/21/05 at 12:54amYeah I drink like 15 glasses a day, (or like 10 bottles of deerpark) and I feel so much better, I also drink lots of green tea, and so i get even more water. mmmm green tea.

Posted: 6/21/05 at 12:57amI don't like green tea. Too much caffiene. And it tastes weird.

I haven't had anything but water to drink since May 9th-ish..and I have NO cravings for any other drinks. I've also been eating a lot less. Since then, I have lost 20 pounds. 
#12re: Water Diet?
Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:01amSame here parks, I havent drunken any soft drinks since '02 and I dont miss them at all, and I've lost a lot of weight too. Da mn you've lost 20lbs? is it healthy to just drink water, I did that and developed a bad eating disorder. you might wanna eat some soup or something. seriously, three weeks without real food and you can die.

Haven't had a soda since July 12th last year. 
Not a Sprite or anything (which my friends who claim they don't drink sodas cheat with).
#14re: Water Diet?
Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:11amYeah, my mom cheats with sprite and diet coke. Diet coke can actually make you fatter, it has an artificial sweetener that is so sweet it makes you seriously crave more sugar, and thus you eat more, and thus get fatter. sorry, just thought I'd through in a fun fact for the day, about my hatred for diet sodas. Aigoo, you dont like how green tea tastes? maybe its aquired, I love it, but i never put anything in it, no sugar or honey. I didnt realize it had that much caffeine, no wonder im up all night.
#15re: Water Diet?
Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:13amYeah. Green tea is just as bad as coffee, caffiene-wise.

Is it true that Diet Coke also contains an ingredient that supposedly causes cancer? ...otherwise my ex's mom is a liar...lol
I used to drink NOTHING but Diet Sodas (when I was so young, so naive) and thought I was being healthy. I drank more sodas than I did water. I'm almost positive I sometimes went days with nothing but sodas to drink.
#17re: Water Diet?
Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:15amOh man, I drink it like water, like two or three cups a day, mmmmm i love my caffieine. also, does ginger tea do anything? I drink that too.
#18re: Water Diet?
Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:17amDunno. I drink barley tea. Mmmmmm. I love the aftertaste of it.
#19re: Water Diet?
Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:21amMaybe i'll try that, but for some reason, everthing tastes weird to me thats not green tea.

I've heard that it also makes your skin nicer. All I know is I feel much better after I've drinken a couple glass of water.
I used to never drink water that much, but now I always have a glass by me, I feel gross/unhealthy if I haven't drinken any.
I used to drink a lot of soda too, I still drink one coke a day, but now I actually think about it before I choose to drink a 2nd one or not. I also can't stand to drink a Coke before I have had a couple glasses of water.
#21re: Water Diet?
Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:22amOut of all sodas a hated coke the most. I used to drink like 5 or 6 dr peppers a day and sprite.
#22re: Water Diet?
Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:55amI'm not sure if this is still true, but for a long time diet coke was made (is made?) with aspartame, which can lead to certain forms of cancer. This is according to my mother.
#23re: Water Diet?
Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:57amYeah, if you leave it in a hot car long enough it turns to fermaldahide (sp?).

Posted: 6/21/05 at 3:36amI'm trying to stop drinking cokes, but I cannot live without caffeine, so I've been drinking a lot of sweet tea. But that's not that much better. When I'm in a show and during the school year when I have choir, I drink a good bit of water, but now, not so much.
